There's something to be said for committing to the bit. And it's just as dumb (and gross) as this sounds. Instead, this episode really is just about Morty's killer sperm impregnating Summer's giant-size egg.
It's a narrative this show has played around with before, and that would have made it a tad predictable, but at least this kind of twist would have added an extra layer to the story. Remember when we discovered that the legendary rapper Ice-T is actually an anthropomorphic letter from the planet Alphabetrium? It's dumb, but crucially, it's also funny, because Rick and Morty is actually really smart about dumb humour, for the most part.īecause of that, we spent most of this episode waiting for Rick to reveal that he knew what Morty did all along, and that he created the killer sperm to teach his grandson a lesson. But sometimes, Rick and Morty shines brightest when it's at its most stupid. When episodes like this succeed, they're among the very best that Rick and Morty has to offer. Both took a convoluted sci-fi concept and ran with it, stretching things out to their most absurd conclusion in what Den of Geek affectionately refers to as a "sci-fi puzzle box" approach to storytelling. 'Rickdependence Spray' is worlds away from the first two episodes of season five, AKA Morty's Narnia-style escapade and the whole decoy family mindf**k. Throw in some action-movie tropes along with a giant incest baby, and that's the crux of this episode in a nutshell.
But then Morty's semen accidentally leads to the creation of killer space sperm. Weirdly enough, that's not the strangest set-up we've ever seen on Rick and Morty. One week in, Rick suddenly interrupts these plans when he uses the "horse" sperm to create a weapon that will kill the CHUDs, cannibalistic horse people who live underground. The "dirty little dog" has sex with it over and over again. 'Rickdependence Spray' starts with Morty banging a breeding mount used to collect horse sperm in his mother's workplace. We say "usually" because season five's latest episode may cause some fans to question this claim. But to anyone who's actually watched an episode all the way through, it's clear that Rick and Morty is usually so much more than that. On a show where Slut Dragons and Jellybean Kings are commonplace, it's easy to dismiss Rick and Mortyas a dumb, throwaway cartoon. Rick and Morty season 5, episode 4 spoilers follow.
